Answer 2

if you can go to the "appearance and themes" section in the control panel selct the "taskbar and start menu" command and then tell it to autohide it and push apply. Then ur window will go down to the bottom of the screen, then deselct autohide and push apply again and the start bar should come back, unless you have some nasty virus, but that's happened on mine a few times recently too, good luck!

Answer 3

it may of got dragged down to the bottom, try to take your mouse all the way down and pulling it up, as for your "my computer" do a search for it if you can get your start menu back. Hope this helps

Answer 4

you've minimized the pastime bar. try putting your curser on the bottom of the show screen till that is going to grow to be a double arrow. at the same time as that is going to grow to be a double arrow proper click-carry then drag the double arrow upward. this may fix your pastime bar. good success.
